How to Make Cheesy Chicken Rice Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions. (Uncle Ben's Garlic Butter Rice is recommended, or use regular rice with 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon garlic powder added during cooking).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can of cream of chicken soup and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Stir in 1 chicken bouillon cube until dissolved.
- Cut 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch to 1 ½-inch strips.
- In a medium-sized casserole dish, combine the cooked rice, cream of chicken mixture, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Gently bury the chicken strips into the rice mixture.
- Add ½ cup of frozen mixed vegetables (optional) and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Mix well, cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the casserole is bubbly. Check chicken for doneness after 40 minutes; cooking time may vary depending on the size of chicken pieces.
